FERTILIZER PROBLEM I
SERIOUS TO FARMERS
(By Joseph L. Holliday)
The low prices and stringent money
situation caused by or in the name
of over production are causing peo
ple of all lines of industry to how
to fhe nievitable "Hard Times." Still
the Southern farmer has made won
derful progress in better farming, bet
ter yields, better slock; BoTfi WiTrr
and meat stock. Our farm work stock
1 suppose, is not in the
whole state.
We say the low prices of farm
products have put us in bad shape
financially, suppo.se we admit that
this is true, still business is business
ami lets look at this thing first: we
are informed that Maitin county and
Eastern Caiolina now owe less than
60 |ter cent of the money the samee
territory owed six months ago, what
is the trouble then? Only that we
didn't pay quite all we owed by Jan
uary first, as we expected to. l)o
you ever stop to think that the prop
erty you owe most on now was not
your property January Ist, 1920; and
thpt it was only u dream of ours that
we could possess all this newly ac
nu'ii*! | ri'perty and lie free of debt
i l it l\\ilve months? Do you
« it: lo i!to tlfink that the now strong
v i bu mess- concerns were once or
more times in harder financial straits
than we southern farmers are today?
If that is true then, tKe would-be"
independent farau'i must sit steady
in the boat anu'work out plans to
overcome present troubles hy sane
business methods and economy!
Economy! That is the word wit:
its meaning in practice that will set
us financially free. Economy in pur
chasing all that we have to buy and
buying only that which Cannot be
produced economically at home,
We have here in Martin county a
big problem with which we must take
account. It is that of fertiliser for
crupM. t} ,be planted this year. While
we believe that fertiliser has been
used extravagantly in some cases,-still
it is the greatest factor outside A 1
preparation and cultivation. Of course
drainage is of somOdand frfrutaoin
drainage is of extreme importance,
then a thoroughly plowed, disked,
harrowed and fertilized seed bed all
of which are included Ire preparation.
Right' hero I would like to say that
*-2-2 or K-4-4 are not all that counts
for farmers in North Carolina, since
- information from our ' experiment
Xarms show that raw ground liine has
in many cases doubled or over doub
led the yield of crops when used in
combination with fertilizers. Here
then is a splendid opportunity foi
farmers to make a good step toward
successful management of the farm
this year when an outlay of money
of from four to twelve dollars per
acre will give 50 to 100 per cent more
in yield then why not use such econ
omy?
Buy as sparingly of high priced fer
as jb consistent with good bus
iness, spread farm raised manure.'
as far as is practical and use fer
tilizer only as a supplement. Plant
only the liest seed for all crops, give
thorough and intensive cultivation
throughout] the growing season and
w? believe that we will l>e able to
overcome the present financial strain
and will bgin to look out our indebt
edness as an investment instead of a
calamity; surely so where our indebt
edness was caused from an effort to
word progress. Intensive year-round
farming- lias placed North Carolina
very near the top of the list as an
agricultural state and with all far
mers using the best methods, her
lead is enviable.
I HAVE SEVERAL. HUNDRED
pounds of meat for Rale at once
Hogs weighing from 76 to 150 pounds.

THE ENTERPRISE
Much Depends on
Mental Attitude
Cpon inquiry we .find that the
Banks of Williamston have made
satisfactory gains in January busi
ness. They are feeling the current
of improvement that is being lelt in
the entire country and they have all
gained more than 150 per cent in a
vailable cash in thirty days. This
show:; that there ix a. hioseni ng up of
things tnd that something will happen
whereby the people will be fed and
clothed and everything move on in
about the same good old way.
The people are generally too hasty
in iuinp n/fHC conclusions and while
our present slump is bad, yet our
mental attitude has made it ap| ear
much worse that* it realty is. One
year we only thought and talked of
the good conditions, to-day we only
only think and talk of the bad.
The thing f r us to do is to take
off our coats and hats and get into
the ring and put up an honest to
God fight to overcome the hard times
of which we are now complaining.
If yl the money of this country
that is being held up on the hiu of
the people could be placed into several
banks of the county, and get to doing
business for the public good, things
would loosen up immediately. Every
body would be helped und n nhody
hurt.
The best place to start good times
is at home. Don't blame it all to
New York or Washington to bring
about our salvation. Rather let each
man and woman take his or her part
of the blame and do his or her part
to bring alrout better times.

MRGE STILL CAPTURED
AFTER RUNNING FIGHT
Tuesday Sheriff Koberson, Deputy
hdmundson and Chief I'age in answer
to a Li |> made a trip on the back of
the Jim Biggs' farm near the Ed
Walston farm and soon found a splen
did trail. While moving along the
officers were beset by two vicioua buil
rur dogs, the charge of the dogs warn
«*« 1 tlu* stillers who were .soon fifty
yards away running a ttop speed and
in t)u-ii rush thyy .proceeded to open
lire oi) the pursuing officers, wKo
uistanU |irumptness responded with
l>uck shot and bullets but the distance
was too great and no one was struck.
None of the operators were identi
lied although it is certain they were
colored and that there were three of
them.' The copper still of a 100 jjal- 1
lon capacity was destroyed, about ten
barrells of beer poured out and thret
gallons of rum taken. The oftlceera
loun dm no barrells of beer in fer
ment about a bundled and fifty yaids
away, two barrells of molasses and
some brick about two hundred yard*
from the still. It is evident that the
still was one of those circuit rideri,
which is takeu from stand
to pour out its sluice of poison to de
bauch the families of the country.
This territory had evidently been
one of the devil's play grounds for
many years and has been under the
direction of a feu negroes, llut Worse
than thai it lias been teh mecca for a
few old "moonshiners" from William
ston. This is one of the strong insti
lutions which judges in their wise
"discretion," have limit up anil it has
uovs growu to the point that it has
gathered the spirit of murder and de
struction. i'ltiable is the community
that has stood for a bunch of folks
to run in high gear a nest of block
ade stills and sooner or later it will
damage any neighborhood.
